§ The result
iMocha leads Darwinbox on all 7 criteria.
iMocha sits 10 points above Darwinbox under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 46 — with iMocha filed under Assessment and Darwinbox under ATS-integrated. iMocha is ahead of Darwinbox on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Article 11 Technical Documentation at Darwinbox 60 to iMocha 68. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Darwinbox 28, iMocha 44, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage iMocha holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -10.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -10.2.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
